Northern Ireland, Who Cares?

Ulster's Funny Stuff is a podcast available from the BBC. It is also surely an oxymoron. I have not downloaded it but I'm sure it's a very short piece.

Irish Unity on the Agenda? Who is Sinn Fein kidding? No-one in the 'South' gives a toss or cares about the 'North'. Unless of course 'Southerners' go up to stock up on Dutch Gold or whatever it is plebeians drink nowadays.

But if the 'North' did not exist, then of course Sainsbury's would not be there.

So there you have it. Ulster's Funny Stuff will be on show in London on 20th February 2010.

Does this mean you're not an admirer of Gerry Anderson, the man from Stroke City?

Here, you've reminded me - Frank Carson used to come into a place I worked - I was a cashier in a bank in Belfast city centre, first proper job. So one day he comes up to the cashier next to me. She was pregnant.Says Frank: "When's the happy day, love?"Says she, smiling sweetly: "Oh Frank, that was months ago."He scooted out of their as quickly as possible with a scowl on his face. Didn't like anyone being funnier than he was. (Which wasn't difficult.)
